Yeah, that tiny crown is not real. Did not see it on the live tv.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
OK, good. The wee crown was ridiculous, I'm glad it's not real!

I like to imagine that Kate was wearing sneakers under her dress.

And the reward for being awesome at your job is... more work!!!
I'm very familiar with this problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am hoping that my reward for doing my job well is reduced supervision. So far, so good.
Now begins a ninety minute meeting in a room that smells of fresh paint. I'm hoping my boss doesn't give me any hassles for dialling in. Because that's the only way this is going down if there's a chance of me lasting the whole day in the office.

Love the hat link from above--some of them were great! Others...might've been ok if they weren't at freakish angles on the head. Why were people wearing hats straight up and down on their foreheads??

It's surprising how effective a torment having to drive several miles with fragrant Thai take-out in the passenger seat is.

I'm looking at a sample report featuring Gerald Butler, Andey Rodick, Buffet Warren, John Walker, and Micheal Jordan. I'm not entirely sure if that's liability or obfuscation or something. It is really distracting, though. Especially since there are 20 other names that don't remind me of anything, and now I'm wondering if they should.

Because they're cool!
(oh, apparently they are cricket players there too!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was emailing with my mother about the menu for the Queen's Reception (just hors d'oeuvres and cake), and my mother wrote:
Aunt Pauline went to some wedding of a duke or something at Buckingham Palace and all they served were cookies!
Hahaha! (a) Of course Aunt Pauline did (she was married to a fancy English doctor); and (b) of course they did. Classic.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Let me be contrary about kate's dress and say it was too simple for the occasion. Almost aggressively humble, like, "la-di-da, just getting married in Westminster cathedral today, don't want to overdo it or anything." Be excited! This is the time for the most OTT wedding dress that church can fit, Diana style.
